ST. PETERSBURG - THE REV. VIRGIL VAN STREET, an Episcopal priest and lawyer who prosecuted war criminals at Nuremberg, is dead at 82. The Portland, Ore., native who moved to St. Petersburg in 1984, died here Sunday. Street worked as a lawyer in the 1930s and 1940s and served as an assistant U.S. attorney in Maryland before spending two years in Germany as a prosecutor of World War II Nazi criminals. ''He was a lawyer who traveled the world. But I knew him best as a priest,'' his widow Mildred said.
